I’m Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song Songtext
von Don McLean

I′m gonna live
Live the life I sing about
Down in my soul, my soul
In my soul

I'm gonna fight
For the right
Shun the wrong
If I′m in the street
Or in my home
If I have company
Or I'm alone

I'm gonna live
Live the life I sing about
Down in my soul, my soul
In my soul


Everyday
Everywhere
On this busy
Thoroughfare
People shun me
Look down on me
They don′t like me
I don′t care

I can't sing one thing
And live another
Be a saint in church
And a devil undercover

I′m gonna live
Live the life I sing about
Down in my soul, my soul
In my soul

Like I said
Everyday
Everywhere
On this busy
Thoroughfare
People shun me
Look down on me
They don't like me
But I don′t care


I can't sing one thing
And live another
Be a saint in church
And a devil undercover

I′m gonna live
Live the life I sing about
Down in my soul, my soul
In my soul

I'm gonna live
Live the life I sing about
Down in my soul
